How you speak it and how you write it are very different and forum posts blur that line a lot Grammatically it should be "there are" but in spoken word it's easy to shorten and use bad grammar because it sounds better. "There is no others in my area" is wrong, but "There's" becomes idiomatic or whatever that word is that means how people speak naturally. If you use it in writing, then you can put it in a character's speech, but not in narration, unless it's a first person that is already riddled with natural speech patterns.

verbs should agree in number with the subject. "There" is not the subject. though. "No others" is the real subject, despite the inverted order in the sentence.

There are no others in the area.

There is no one else like that in the area.

This type of usage is known as the "existential there". It cannot be the subject of the sentence as it does not carry any meaning, being used in stead to anticipate the subject in a clause that refers to the existence or occurance of something.

In sentences with "there" as an anticipatory subject, the following verb is usually a form of "to be", and it is followed by the notional subject, e.g. "There is a fly in my soup", "There was a change in the atmosphere", "Once upon a time there was a very vain emperor."
